Family caregiver beliefs and barriers to effective pain management of cancer patients in home care settings.

CONCLUSIONS: This is the first time BQ II has been used in this population. The results are consistent with the international academic studies in this area, but more research is needed. BQ II was found to be a valid and reliable scale for defining caregiver attitudes and barriers to effective pain management in homecare settings. Health professional training, interventions targeted to caregivers and trained home care teams may improve the quality of cancer care in these settings. PMID: 30722124 [PubMed - in process]
